As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

With Tim out at last, the Worsters were finally forced to do something they haven't resorted to for months: commission a new caricature. And they've already decided just who they're going to back. Crystal may be giving them the open acknowledgment, but there's only one contestant with Laser Eyes Of Death -- so say farewell to the Urban Legend and welcome Siobhan Magnus to the racks of the Worsted. She presumably has a rambling thank-you speech to fit the occasion.

I don't think this choice makes any difference in the long run, but I don't think any pick would. Crystal has too much of the voting population to realistically overcome: at this point, the only way to beat her is for her own numbers to stay stable while one opposing singer picks up every last other vote. Siobhan might be able to reach F3 -- but with Casey sinking fast, one of the major obstacles to that position is just about out of the way no matter what the Worsters do.

The backing won't hurt Siobhan -- but it won't help her win either. And the same will apply to anyone else VFTW picks. They can add an extra table scrap to a meager plate -- but they can't pull the cloth out from under the predetermined main course.

Who could have guessed Timmeh would last so long back that first week of "you should have never been in the top 24".

I do hope they've taken all the sharp objects and hanging material away from the immediate area of whatever his name was that got disqualified. You know this can't have been easy for him.

Siobhan really is the only entertaining pick left from what I see. Between the oddness, and that they seem to let her attempt to sass the judges each week and the rabid fans to get upset, and the fans of the boring trying to convince them to change the pick because she has too many of those rabid fans....they should have enough fun to make up for the loss.

Their claim is that Aaron's variety of bad isn't entertaining enough. (They also had one of Aaron's fans trying to skew the 'who's our next?' poll result, so management may be a little irritated with his fanbase.)

The site is slightly divided over this pick. Some people are openly mourning Tim's loss and dropping out for the rest of the season, others wanted Siobhan as backup all along and are in celebration, and more than a few are whiplashing their position by claiming every negative thing they ever hated about her is now a perfect reason for moving into her camp. But there's more approval than departures, although everyone seems to be worried about an unholy alliance with Siobhan's existing fanbase -- which they see as being a lot like Adam's.

I think had I been a Worster I would have to bow out for the rest of the season over Timmeh's eviction. Timmeh was the ultimate Worster Hero. Bad enough (especially early on) to be a legitimate VFTW pick yet good enough and nice enough to stay quite awhile. And always entertaining.

Yup, VFTW had it's run with Tim, he's irreplaceable. At this point, it doesn't matter much who they pick as no one will come close to matching Tim's long run and fun.

They can't pick Aaron, as he's probably next out. Nor Mike, as he is not really the entertainer they're looking for. Crystal and to some extent Lee are too good to be considered the 'worst'. So, that leaves the eccentric Siobhan.

Aaron--Always is told he is good even when he is terrible. The you didn't do good this time, but people should vote for you anyway is not a worster pick edit.

Michael--Usually gets a you really are good edit, got saved

Casey--gets tongue bathed for everything and things he does that other people do, are AOK even if other people should not always hide behind the guitar, and so on.

Lee--Always seems gets good comments no matter what he does. They say we should keep him even if he has no confidence and any bit of progress however faint in that direction is praised like a major breakthrough.

Crystal--gets licked cleaned every week.

Siobhan--got praise early on but now all she gets is we don't know who you are, why are you doing this, she's the one thrown under the bus most regularly, lately.

By the top 6 it is rare you have anyone that hasn't at some point been pimped. By now they've gotten rid of most of early fodder and you have TCO (or TCT-the chosen two or the chosen three) and the mid level fodder.

Usually that means some previous lurved constestant stop being slurped on every episode and they rev up the bus half way during the performance (that has to be distracting no wonder some people eventually start tanking).

So getting tossed under the bus is one sign of a worst pick (as there always has to be a worst, as there always is a best, just the scale changes like in school, even if the college only takes people from the top 10% out of that group someone now becomes the bottom 10%)

Talking back to the judges is one thing the worsters love to choose people for and Sio bhan ... does ... do ... that ... in ... a ... slow way ... but ... it ... still ... counts ... as ... sass.

Doesn't seem to be much of anyone else willing to rock the boat.

Add in you never know when she's going to wear another homage to Fern Gully....

Realistically, it could have been any of the males: Aaron for pitch problems, Mike for style-lock, Lee for total emotional disconnect, and Casey as the goat. (It could have even been Crystal for her Pigpen tag.) I'm just not sure where they think they're going to find their entertainment factor. When Michael's good, he's in his wheelhouse, and when he's bad, it's frequently because he stayed in the wheelhouse when the real party was on the dance floor. VFTW may be getting desperate.

I think the reasoning is Mike is the only one that occasionally does entertaining things (and is great photochop material) and a lot of the fans of other idols are peeved Mike got the save (rather than it being held onto to save their fav) and so every week he stays the more in a tizzy those people get.

Crystal (VFTW shout out on Facebook not withstanding) is way too pimped, even with the right on schedule minor depimp she got.Casey also is way too pimped and I think they want to see Kara's face when he leaves.Aaron is generally considered the worst singer but too boring to be the pick until there isn't another choice.Lee also seems too pimped to be the pick until it is him and Crystal left.

Sometimes the entertainment is seeing the fan bases go nuts when the VFTW pick survives and crushes the dreams of whoever they are lusting after.

Because you know as soon as you become the VFTW pick all your dreams are surgically removed or something so it doesn't matter if the VFTW person leaves, being voted off will have no impact on the feelings of the VFTW pick as they also had their emotions removed with their dreams.

The big negative of Mike was they used the save on him, but I think now they are in you saved him when you knew he won't be commercial so now you get to chock on him reasoning.

We're going goat: last night's performance inspired (or forced) a change to Casey -- but it also caused a problem. A number of VFTW members had already started to autodial on Michael before noticing the change, and some of them may have never checked in. The result is a split in the voting block -- which really means no potential real influence this week. When one of their moderators is saying it doesn't make a difference who they go for at F5...

Yes, VFTW has moderators. And guidelines. It comes as a shock to everyone.

What not to sing season averages (if you check the DI thread I have the prelim numbers in my average--this is the final ave)

77.2 Crystal Bowersox59.6 Lee DeWyze

Also there is these factors

1. Who's fanbase is nuttier and will be funnier when they find out.2. Which will be funnier when they fail post season3. Will anyone other than bland white male psuedo-rockers try out ever again since the main fan base left watching idol seems to demand one wins every single freakin' year. 4. Year of the woman, yeah right!

By the final few pretty much everyone has been pimped and the chances of a final two where neither person is a judge's fav is going to be slim to none.

Besides Simon is on his way out, I'm cynical enough to think he'll back the person he thinks will help clear the way for his X-factor show.

I wonder if there will be any correlation to album sales.Tim $50Lee $45Siobhan $75Casey..... $212!!!Of course they're only a few days into the auction, so who knows what the final totals will be, but wow.

Note the timing on the end: an hour after AI closes out. And from personal experience, most of the price movement will be in the last twenty-four hours -- with the absolute bulk in the final five minutes.
